Eight myxomycete species from the Marmara region are newly recorded for Turkey: Amaurochaete tubulina, Comatricha longipila, Diderma cinereum, D. umbilicatum, Didymium lenticulare, Physarum serpula, Stemonitis inconspicua, and Symphytocarpus confluens.
This paper contains a complete list of Myxomycetes of Turkey. The checklist, which is mainly based on literature records, includes 102 taxa, belonging to 31 genera.
Objective: Urbanization has been reported to affect the biodiversity of myxomycetes. There is no data in the Bursa city on the diversity of myxomycete in the urban area. Therefore, we aim to determine the presence of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees that are located in the most populated province of Bursa city (Osmangazi and Yıldırım). Materials and Methods: In August and October 2018, 100 barks of monumental trees located in the Osmangazi and Yıldırım) county of Bursa was collected. Moist chamber culture technique was used for the isolation and identification of the species. Results: 16 species within 9 genera were identified. The species identified are listed, and six new species Didymium bahiense (Gottsberger), Didymium difforme (Pers.) S. F. Gray), Macbrideola martinii (Alexop. & Beneke), Macbrideola oblonga (Pando, Lado), Physarum gyrosum (Rost.), Physarum notabile (Macbr.) were recorded for Bursa city. Conclusion: This is the first report of corticolous myxomycetes on monumental trees in Bursa city center. It also added data and 6 new records of myxomycetes on the myxomycete biodiversity of Bursa.
